[Patrick Moore]

Kudos to Pam! +1 that errand riding with a goal in mind, even if this means
extending a 1 mile shopping rt into a 20 mile loop, is the best riding, IMO.

Prices do not include shipping (CONUS)

*Royal Gran Compe 400 Brakeset:* Black with low miles but could use some 
new brake pads) 
$65

*Sackville SaddleSack ExtraSmall:* Brown with a small tear in the top 
middle from where I had an external battery wired through to a handlebar 
light. I've somehow lost the leather straps it came with so hopefully the 
price reflects all that. 
$40 

*Selle Anatomica Series 2 Carbon Rail:* New, never used.
$50

*Surly Chain Tensioner:* includes both springs it came with. Used for a two 
jaunts around town but I've since moved on to a bike with horizontal 
dropouts rendering this useless. Worked great though and easy to install!  
$30

*Kool-Stop Continental Salmon Brake Pads:* Used for less than 100 miles. 
$10 (or free if purchased with a pair of brake pads) 

*Nitto Technomic Quill Stem: *8cm 26.0 clamp, lightly used

$28 

*Shimano BR-R600 Brakeset:* Near mint but w/o brake shoes. 47-57mm reach
$80

*Shimano Ultegra 6500 Brakeset:* Used but in excellent shape, could use 
some new brake pads IMO. Short reach 
$30

*Sugino XD2 Crankset:* 170mm length, 46/34 Origin 8 chainrings, all very 
lightly used 
$150 

*Acorn Large Saddlebag:* brown (kinda olivy) very lightly used. I'm not the

either!  
$100

[RBW] Re: Pamela Murray: Bike Hero

[Roberta]

I watched the video, rode with Pam and also took her course.  I'm still 
nervous about riding with cars, but I have more tools to do so safely.   We 
have great paths where I live, but they don't always go to where I want to 
go.   Also, I am riding more to where I used to drive.  Thanks, Pam!  I 
might be in Charlotte again in May, hopefully on a Tuesday night for your 
ride.

Clearly you are in violation with multiple project bikes.  It is even more

You're welcome!

Maybe you have too many single speeds, but you definitely have too many 
mixtes.  In order to restore balance in the universe, I recommend you sell 
your medium mountain mixte* to me.  Please and thank you.  Every stable 
should have one bike with a lift-a-tube, and that's an empty slot in my 
stable.  Another MMM* build would fill the mixte slot AND the liftatube 
slot.  

*Joyless pedants cannot resist the urge to remind us that the Rivendell 
R05C0 8U883 known as the "medium mountain mixte" is not actually a mixte.  
A mixte has dual skinny top tubes heading all the way to the rear wheel.  
In part to sooth the JPs, I invented the term "Mountain Utility Step 
Through", and called my former MMM "Trusty MUSTy".  I should not have sold 
mine.  My build was sensational.  Fix these problems by selling me yours.

[RBW] Re: [BOB] Re: TC hub, chromed, finally!

[Ian A]

Patrick:

Thank you for the detailed write-up and the photos. To see such superb old 
technology restored (and adapted where needed/desired) is inspiring. The TC 
looks magnificent with the new chrome. Aaron clearly knows his stuff.  It 
seems you prefer the TF for your riding style. To think 1937 construction 
and technology holds its own against 2023 market offerings shows the 
ingenuity of those 1930's designers and engineers.

The Paul fixed/fixed with a dingle certainly match and possibly exceed the 
early British devotion to quality and design, but for the practical 
elegance of shifting a two speed fixed gear drivetrain on the fly, those  
Sturmey Archer hubs hold their own and more.

Hi all,
I recall an article by Grant about the number of bike a person needs with 
justification. I think it was 7.
 Any idea which reader it was in?
Thanks!
